What’s wrong with Neil’s beard?

“Soap opera actress Cheryl McFadden”

TIL.

They’re not banning masks for the KKK, if that helps understand their thinning…

You can’t get yourself sterilised in case some future man wants to use your baby factory.

Chilling.

Counterpoint - if people don’t need to take crappy jobs just to afford food and shelter, those jobs will have to provide better pay and conditions to get employees.

Also, if more people can afford to get further education, you’ll get more doctors and engineers and high skilled workers, because they’ll be able to do the training instead of getting several minimum wage jobs just to support their families.

I’ve said it before - any society that can afford billionaires can afford to feed, clothe, shelter and provide basic medical care to all is members, it’s just choosing not to.

They’ve been together over 40 years, I’d be fairly surprised. But if that’s who they are, I’d obviously support both of them.

Edit: just realised that’s a bit dark if it was Judas’s fortune…

Sure, but if he doesn’t put it up at the beginning, why does anyone think he’ll pay up if he loses? He’ll just keep delaying, as he’s done all along with all of these cases. And if he wins the election, it’ll all go away anyway, which is the “all in” gamble his while life is basically riding on.

Oh, I was hoping they were going to literally trap him inside a giant obelisk. Shame.

You’d best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, Miss Turner. You’re in one.

I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places.

No you don’t. It’s not quite as simple, but buy your own domain, get an email provider such as Fastmail that will let you use a catch-all, then use a unique address for every site you visit.

Then if one starts receiving spam, you can block that specific address and voila, no more spam. Plus you know what sites have either poor customer detail hygiene or are actively selling your details.

We started doing that literally as the first Covid lockdown hit. We always worked 36 hour weeks, but we just compressed them into four 9-hour days instead of five 7.2-hour days (which isn't quite what these trials were doing, but it's close enough that we're not complaining).

Honestly, it's amazing. It really doesn't feel much longer to be working, and having a three day weekend seems to be making everyone happy.

Bonus for me is that there's a handful of people that want to stick with a five hour day, and so as part of a support team, one of us had to be available on Fridays for them, so I actually get Wednesday off instead. So a two day week, a one day 'weekend', a two day week, then Saturday and Sunday.

It's been great for mental health as well as scheduling holidays or just getting stuff done. Work life balance has never been better.

The only downside is that job hunting is now really hard, as anyone that wants me in an office five days a week can jog on.
